Fairfax County Park Authority's Watch the Green Grow (WTGG) public education program increases conservation corridors, reverse parkland encroachment, promotes conservation (“green”) actions and protects water quality in Fairfax County. Our program targets neighborhood community groups and schools to “grow” the number of park neighbors and citizens who contribute to and support conservation activities that protect the region’s wildlife habitats and water quality.

The program’s moniker stems from the Fairfax County Park Authority’s Watch the Green Grow crowdsourcing mapping application -- a real-time visual representation of citizens’ collective actions that protect, restore, and expand conservation corridors.
